Blest's the Man, whose upright Walking
Hymnal: PGTG1756 #70 (1732) Scripture: Psalm 1 Lyrics: I. Blest's the Man, whose upright Walking
Contradicts ill Counselors;
Nor gives Ear to Sinners Talking,
But their wicked Ways abhors;
Who removes with Care his Feet
From the Place where Scoffers meet;
And whose Heart is wholly given
To obey the Laws of Heaven.
II. Blessed, who with constant Pleasure
Studies God's revealed Will;
Seeing there for Heav'nly Treasure,
Day and Night, his Soul to fill.
He is like a living Tree,
Which by gentle Streams we see,
Stretching forth its fruitful Branches
Till the gath'ring Time advances.
III. Thus shall he put forth and flourish,
Who reveres the sacred Word;
All the Seasons him shall nourish
With sweet Blessings from the Lord:
Tho' through Age he may be grey,
Yet his Leaf shall ne'er decay;
All his Actions God so blesses,
That they'r crowned with Successes.
IV. Not so fares th' ungodly Faction,
Who the Law of Life disown:
They, like Chaff, in Wild Distraction,
Shall be driven up and down.
Where God tries his pious Race,
Sinners can't abide the Place.
All the Righteous, God doth cherish;
But the Wicked all shall perish. Topics: Word of God Languages: English
Blest's the Man, whose upright Walking
Vain foolish Men profanely boast
Hymnal: PGTG1756 #84 (1732) Scripture: Psalm 14 Lyrics: 1 Vain foolish Men profanely boast
Of God and true Religion:
Their faithless Hearts are full of Lust,
Their Life's a Contradiction:
Corrupted is their very Frame;
God's Holiness abhors the same;
There's None doth Good, but Evil.
II. The Lord, from his coelestial Throne,
Look'd down on evr'y Creature,
To find one Man who had begun
To love God's holy Nature;
But ll the Race was gone astray,
All had forsook the saving Way
Of CHRIST'S bright Revelation.
III. How long will they be ignorant
Of their Abomination,
Who thus despise my Covenant,
Nor spare my Holy Nation?
They never call upon the Lord,
But trust unto their golden Hoard,
And turn their own Defenders.
IV. Yet are their Hearts in constant Pain,
And secret Fear and Trembling.
God with his SION will remain,
Where Saints are still assembling:
But you deride the Poors' Advice,
Their greatest Comfort you despise,
That God's their only Refuge.
V. O, that the joyful Day wou'd come,
To change our mournful Station,
When God will bring his Children home,
And finish our Salvation!
Then shall the Tribes of JACOB sing,
And JUDAH praise their Lord and King,
With lasting HALLELUJAHS.

Vain foolish Men profanely boast
Shew Pity LORD! O LORD, forgive!
Hymnal: PGTG1756 #95 (1732) Scripture: Psalm 51 Lyrics: I. Shew Pity, LORD! O LORD, forgive!
Is not thy Mercy still the same?
Let a repenting Sinner live:
Pardon his Guilt who owns his Shame.
If Thou thy Judgments should'st display;
I die; and Righteous is thy Name.
But, O my God, thy Judgments stay;
For I confess my Sin and Shame.
II. I from the Stock of ADAM came;
And my Conception was unclean;
My whole Original is Shame;
My Nature Nothing else but Sin.
No bleeding bird, nor bleeding Beast,
Nor running Brook, nor Flood, nor Sea,
Nor Hyssop-Branch, nor sprinkling Priest,
Can wash my native Stain away.
III. O, cleanse my Heart, and chear my Soul;
O, chear me with Forgiving Love;
And make my broken Spirit whole;
And all my Sin and Shame remove.
Let not thy Spirit quite depart;
Hide not thy Love: hide not thy Face.
O, cleanse again my vicious Heart,
Ad fill it with thy saving Grace.
IV. The Wicked will I teach thy Ways;
And to confess their Saviour bring;
And shew the Wonders of thy Grace;
And teach 'em all thy Praise to sing.
O, Gracious God! my Heart inspire
With ev'ry Movement of thy Grace;
And touch my Tongue with hallow'd Fire,
To praise the Lord my Righteousness.
V. No Sacrifice dost Thou require,
Besides a Heart that's broke for Sin;
I bring it then, at thy Desire;
And it is All that I can bring.
Thy own JERUSALEM rebuild;
And raise her broken Walls again;
And be she with thy Glory fill'd,
To joy all Those that love thy Name.

Out of the Deeps of dark Distress
Hymnal: PGTG1756 #97 (1732) Scripture: Psalm 130 Lyrics: I. Out of the Deeps of dark Distress,
The Deeps of Desperation,
I cry to Thee, my God, for Grace,
For Love and for Salvation.
Father Almighty, should thine Eye
Be strict to mark Iniquity,
Oh! who could stand before Thee.
II. But (Praise eternal to thy Name)
Thou hast a Throne erected,
A Glorious Throne of Grace, where Man
Was never yet rejected.
For Mercy is with Thee, our God;
Thy Son has sealed with his Blood
Our Pardon and Salvation.
III. In Thee alone I put my Trust,
Disclaiming all Self-Merit.
O, Mighty, Merciful and Just,
Thee I adore in Spirit.
To thy blest Word full Trust I give:
'Tis my Support while yet I live;
And will support me dying.
IV. With more Impatience far than Those
That languish for the Morning,
I languish till Thou shalt disclose
Thy Love to me returning.
Ye Sons of ISRAEL, wait the Day;
Wait till th' Almighty shall display
His Mercy and his Blessing.
V. On's Mercy-Seat he issues out,
For Sins, on Sins, Remission:
There All's forgiven and forgot;
For CHRIST makes Intercession.
He turns our Feet from sinful Ways.
Oh, endless is his Love and Praise.
By Him is ISRAEL saved.
